Sesame Street - ish & Thomas Pastrano

I first became acquainted with the clever art work from Pastrano at Shine Bright Zamorano site and fell in love. I decided to give it a try with my students and loved the results!

First I introduced my students to Jim Henson and we learned about his amazing art style of designing and bringing muppets to life. We watched this clip of rapper Will.i.am. singing with the Sesame Street muppets and used the closed caption so the students can read along with it as always.http://youtu.be/cyVzjoj96vsI had students make observations of the different characteristics of each muppet. (Colors, shapes, lines going horizontal or vertical, etc.) Then we looked at Pastrano's work. VERY COOL.
